We're almost done with our time in temporary housing and I realized I haven't shared any photos of our new joint. Of course, it's not all that exciting so I shall instead use this as excuse to share more cute Benji photos and you'll see our little apartment in the background. You can also see him practicing counting Cheerios in our kitchen (this is a longish video clip).
Benji has been stringing together sets of two words far more regularly. One favorite of his is "Mommy shoe" which can mean anything from "Mommy please put on your shoes so we can go outside" to "Mommy, give me your bunny slippers."
Benji's bedroom here has his crib as well as a queen size bed. He's quite fond of playing on his big bed and sometimes takes naps there.
Our apartment is in a flight patterns for O'Hare so Benji enjoys standing outside the apartment and watching the planes. We even got him his own Duplo airplane to go along with his new interest.
Benji decided that it wasn't good enough to put his animals in the plane, but that he needed to get in the airplane himself.
The living room in the apartment is smaller than our family room at home so even with fewer toys it feels pretty full.
To make Benji feel more at home we brought some of his favorite familiar toys, including his piano. It's so funny to watch him dance to his music!
i sincerely do not know what you are doing here. are you lost? were you
looking for your delicate calico cat, and did you follow her up two flights of stairs
to this room? she is not here. she was here, yes. we gave her a warm bowl of milk, we talked with her about campaign finance reform for a time, and then she bid us good day. i believe she was
going to the post office two blocks down, but i don't quite recall.
for surely you did
not find your way from prinsiana, the least traveled site on
the internet. if you did, though, perhaps you are looking for humor. perhaps you are looking for profundity. perhaps you are looking for answers.
i'm sorry, but you shall go naught-for-three.
